McCaughan came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Phillies, giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits over 4.2 innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.
The 28-year-old righty was mostly effective, but he left the mound after 73 pitches (52 strikes) one out short of qualifying for his first MLB win. McCaughan appears likely to plug a hole in Miami's injury-plagued rotation for the rest of September, but if he continues to be capped at around 75 pitches, wins will be hard to come by even if his performance continues to improve. Over 13.2 big-league innings since the beginning of August, he's posted a 3.95 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB. McCaughan is scheduled to make his next start on the road next week against the Nationals.
